A society grows great when people plant trees whose shade they know they shall never enjoy.

Your support of the Dan Beard Council's endowment fund ensures that the strong Scouting programs that we enjoy today will be available for our children, grandchildren and all youth for generations to come. Gifts to the endowment are restricted so that the principal of the gifts is never spent. These funds are carefully invested and the investment earnings are then put to work annually to fund the programs of the Dan Beard Council

Ways to Contribute

Gift Annuity - This is a gift to Scouting in exchange for a guaranteed lifetime income and a charitable tax deduction as well.

Life Estate Gift - Individuals can gift a home, cottage or farm, while maintaining use of this property for life or a period of years and still recognize a charitable tax deduction now.

Wills and Trusts - The Dan Beard Council can be named as the beneficiary in a will or in a specially tailored trust document that can guarantee an income stream to the donor's family for a period of years.
